GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Grand Rapids police are investigating a Northeast Side shooting that sent one man to the hospital on Monday, Dec. 31.

The victim, a 24-year-old Grand Rapids man, was shot in the abdomen and taken into surgery at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital, police said.

He is expected to survive but has told police that he does not know who shot him, police said. He is also claiming it was a case of mistaken identity.

Police responding to the 8:26 p.m. call at Carrier Street and College Avenue and found no victim, but heard from witnesses that a man had been down in the intersection, and that the victim called for bystanders to contact 911.

The man was reportedly transported to the hospital in a dark-colored car, according to police. Wyoming Police later stopped a vehicle matching that description and its occupants were being questioned by officers.

Police are looking for two suspects associated with the shooting and were examining surveillance video at nearby Guddi's Corner party store to see if the suspect or the victim were on the tape. K-9 units and forensic investigators are on scene.

Six bullet casings were found on a sidewalk in front of a two-story mixed-use building at 453 Carrier St. NE. Bystanders told police they heard gunshots near the intersection.

Initial reports were that the man who was shot stumbled to a house at the northwest corner of the intersection before he was taken away by the car.
